Logic and Humor Combo

This email came from my sister, Sandy, in Houston. I had to share it with you.


TO WHOM DOES THE LAND OF ISRAEL BELONG??

An Israeli Sense of Humor at United Nations set the record straight.

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly and made the world community smile.
A representative from Israel began: 'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, "What a good opportunity to have a bath!"
Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Palestinian had stolen them!
The Palestinian representative at the UN jumped up furiously and shouted, "What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren't there then."
The Israeli representative smiled and said, "And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech."

Balloon Talk #12

Remember the Calvinistic Cartoons K.I.T. formula - Keep It Theological. I will pick one comment that I think is funny and fill in the balloon giving credit to the "winner". Don't worry about the size of the balloon, I can adjust it to your dialog. Just keep it short as possible. Only fill in the one balloon - don't add other dialog from someone else in the photo. Have fun and enjoy the laughs!

Balloon Talk #11

This has been a very difficult one, indeed, with so many outstanding comments. Each time I post a Balloon Talk, I want to display several separate captions! Opinions vary every entry and I have the task of choosing, or better, "electing" one to feature. I hope every new viewer will take the time to read ALL the comments that have been made. It just keeps getting better I tells ya!
And speaking of Balloon Talk...Friday, June 10, will be the last one until September. I will be on vacation and will not be able to Photoshop anything until I return to Kuwait. I will be reading and commenting daily and have many Just for Laughs and Random Word Writing Challenges scheduled for your active, sanctified imaginations. Thanks, everyone, for being a major part of the mix.

A New Hymn from an Emergent Hymnal

Pictured above is the new hymnal from Rob Bell's second cousin on his mother's side, Vern Mayfly, who edited the volume and wrote sixteen of the songs featured in the book. There is a hidden message in each of the "hymns" and this one is no exception:

Jesus help me grab the rope

Only you can toss me hope

Heaven is for all they say

Never to leave and go away

Christ helped me up when I was down

All souls are lost, all souls are found

Love wins big time in eternity now

Very soon everybody will choose to bow

I know my heart will love again

Never to sin against tree or men

Hell is really no place to fear

All who die will not go there

Devils and demons might stay awhile

Nobody else will walk that mile

Once people die they'll see the light

Closed eyes will open to the sight of

Love in sandals, robe and crown

Until that day we'll walk around

Ever witnessing to His love come down (hey nani nani and a hot cha cha)

So, as you can see, their theology is twisted, sister. Be warned.
